SportsClubStats has two methods available for calculating the playoff odds. One is weighted, and "includes opponents record and home field advantage". That method puts the Oilers at 99.3 and the Flames at 92.0.
The second method is strictly 50/50 (each team has an equal chance of winning). That puts the odds at 97.5 and 94.2.
So basically, the two points are work about 3%. The other 4 or 5% are due to schedule/opponents. From what I can tell...
